We chose one of the 2 bed units. I wasn't expecting much and got what I expected. An older style of self catering units, plenty of room, clean enough, beds were OK. Close to the town centre, value for money.

We were very pleased with our stay here. The unit was very spacious and gave us a good sized kitchen for cooking.
The bed was comfortable and it was a smooth stay with checking in and out. The owner was very friendly and helpful.

We had one bedroom unit for two nights. It was clean, the staff were helpful, the bed was comfortable and they have a very reasonably priced guest laundry. Unless you want to do some serious walks two nights was a bit long. We looked at the glacier, did the helicopter flight and walked around Matheson.

We only stayed for one night in one of the appartements but really nothing to complain about. Spacious room, plenty of space, decent kitchen, comfy beds, bathroom ok, nothing to fancy but given the rate a pleasant experience altogether.

The location is very good, the place is clean, a bit dated and a slightly unusual room outlet. Kitchen was huge compared to the rest of the unit. A bit unusual as well was the booking. On the phone I was told the rate is 160 dollars a night, however the internet showed 130 only. Mentioning that I got the...

Second night of road trip and pretty average room. Dreadful condensation on windows and smelt mouldy. Really needs double glazing especially as in mountains. Great views once cloud lifted and friendly staff. Two rooms were good and lounge room great.

Stayed here for two nights during our stay in Fox Glacier. We had rented a unit for 5 people. The place was nice and tidy and was close to the town center (about 5 minutes walk). There was free WiFi and off street parking.
There were only a couple of problems. Firstly the shower wasn't enclosed (only had a curtain...

I originally wanted to stay in the Fox Glacier Hotel where I worked 42 years ago but their price was above our budget. This motel is just near by and a good choice.
It is self contained so you can cook your own meals to keep costs down. We like to make our own breakfast, toast and tea, so it...

This is an older accommodation but it is generally well kept and cared for. The caretaker is a nice guy who recommended us good places to eat and visit. Our room was rather spacious, with two bedrooms and a kitchenette, as well as a single bathroom. The heaters and bed warmers work well during the winter, and the free wifi...

Rooms were clean, well presented with friendly welcoming staff. We stayed here on a very cold and wet night, the rooms were well warmed and spacious and had all the amenities we needed. Fox is a small place so it was only a quick walk to find somewhere to eat, and it is just down the road from lake Matheson...
